Christopher Columbus was born in the seaport town of Genoa in Italy, about the year 1451. He was only 14 years old when he first sailed to the East. His life on the sea, talks with sailors and the results of science made him sure that the earth is round. He wanted to reach India by a westward voyage. He also wanted to discover a new and shorter way to the East.

Columbus set sail with his crew on the 3rd of August, 1492. He was on the ocean for ten weeks. After many hardships he and his sailors saw land. The land was America.

Columbus continued his explorations but he always thought that the islands he had sailed to were the West Indies and he died never knowing that he had discovered a new continent.

One of Mark Twain’s hobbies was fishing. He went fishing even in the closed season, when fishing was not allowed. Like all fishermen, he sometimes invented stories about the number of fish he caught.

One hot day during the closed season, Mark Twain was fishing under a low bridge. A man who was walking across the bridge noticed Mark Twain and began to watch him. At last he asked, “Have you caught many fish?”

“Not yet,” Mark Twain answered. “I have only just begun. But yesterday I caught thirty great big fish here.”

“You were very lucky,” the man said. “Do you know who I am?”

“No,” Mark Twain said. “I don’t think I ever met you before.”

“I’m the fishing inspector in this place. Do you know that this is the closed season?”

Mark Twain understood how foolish he had been. “Do you know who I am?” he asked.

“No, of course not,” answered the inspector.

“I am the biggest liar on the Mississippi,” Mark Twain told him.
